French Bread in an Hour

3 T. oil
2 T. sugar
1 T. salt
2 1/2 cup HOT water
2 T. yeast
approx. 6 cups flour

Put ingredients in bread mixer except flour.  Beat in flour gradually and knead for 3 minutes.  Shape into 2 long loaves.  Put on a greased pan sprinkled with corn meal.  Make 3 slits in the top of the bread.  Brush beaten egg mixed with a little water on top (can sprinkle bread with poppy or sesame seeds).  Put in warm oven (150 degrees) and let raise 15-20 minutes.  Turn oven up to 375 and bake for 25 minutes.  I like to brush with melted butter when they come out of the oven

Makes 2 loaves
